Food Buffs

Ditto, except I also feel the same way about foods or liquids or other ingestibles that confer buffs. Buffs are the crack cocaine of MMORPGs; once you start depending on them, you can't play without them, and that completely skews your (in-game) life.

Buffs are a cheap "feature" dumped into a game by developers who are too lazy to take the time to think up and implement active gameplay content.

Just Say No.

(Food and drink that have no character or world effects whatsoever -- other than to take up space and look good -- are fine by me, though.)

About Me

Back in my misspent youth, I used to spend my nights either programming or playing keyboards at parties.
One night (at a party) a friend yelled out, "Hey, he's been spending so much time with keyboards that his fingers are flat!"
And thus was born Flatfingers.
